Murphy's Law For Pizza Delivery Drivers

2007-04-05T23:55:00.000-07:00

thought this was funny

# The odds that your delivery to the apartment complex will be on the first floor is inversely proportional to the number of pizzas and drinks you are carrying. Corollary: All deliveries to apartment complexes are upstairs and the more pizzas and the harder it is raining, the more flights you'll have to climb.
# The odds on getting a tip are inversely proportional to how hard it is raining, the further you have to drive to get there, and the further away from the address you must park.
# If a kid answers the door, you're not getting a tip.
# While waiting for pizza delivery orders to come out of the oven, the one that goes to the worst neighborhood to a known stiffer always is ready first.
# The only house in the neighborhood with their porch light off will be the house you're looking for.
# The higher the gas prices, the lower the tips.
# The harder it rains, the further away you'll have to park.
# The worse the weather, the more people call for pizza delivery
# People who call for pizza delivery five minutes before the store closes will live at the far edges of the delivery area, in a house with no number on the house or mailbox, and they'll stiff you.
# When looking for a house in a neighborhood with no numbers on the house or mailboxes, you'll always pick the wrong house.
# When being given a delivery on a busy street during rush hour, the address will always be on the other side of the street.
# The worse the neighborhood, the longer you'll have to wait for the customer to answer the door.
# The further away from the store and the closer it is to closing time, the more likely a customer will give you a large bill you must bring back to the store to have changed
# The older the order, the more likely you'll get lost or get stuck in slow traffic
# The quicker you arrive at an address, the more likely they'll not be home or they'll be taking a shower.
# When taking multiple orders, always deliver to the known stiffers last.
# If you have to call a customer on your cell phone on the way to a delivery to get directions they won't answer their phone.
# The harder it is raining, the more likely the customer won't have a roofed porch.
# The busier the store, the more often you'll need to use the bathroom.
# The odds for a decent night's tips are inversely proportional to how badly you need the money.

"pas de deux" by norm mclaren (1967)

2007-03-17T14:44:00.000-07:00

this video was the first time that multiple exposure time-lapse animation was seen in film. although pretty mundane in todays world, this was a pretty revolutionary technique at the time. you could do this in like 2 minutes nowadays, but when this short was made, each exposure had to be laid down manually, one on top of the other, on top of the other, etc.,etc., to acheive the desired results. first time i saw this, the sound was muted and sades "cherish the day" was the soundtrack. it touched me. right here.

the burton sleeper hoodie

2007-03-17T14:34:00.000-07:00

this is pretty dope. from burton snowboards, this hoodie is designed for plane travel, and more specifically for sleeping during plane travel.
the hoodie features a pull down eye shade and neck pillow integrated into the hood, a stash pocket with ear plugs, thumb holes in the cuff, armpit ventalation, and a inside breast pocket to keep your tickets and passport.
looks pretty cozy. couldnt find any info on the burton site, so i guess it isnt available just yet.

emotiv- brain/computer interface

2007-03-17T14:10:00.000-07:00

"Emotiv has created the first brain computer interface technology that can detect and process both human conscious thoughts and non-conscious emotions. The technology, which comprises a headset and a suite of applications, allows computers to differentiate between particular thoughts such as lifting an object or rotating it; detect and mimic a user’s expressions, such as a smile or wink; and respond to emotions such as excitement or calmness."
apparently emotiv is going to be attacking the market first through video game applications, which is pretty exciting, but for some reason i find it strange that the video game industry will be responsible for bringing this kind of technology to the forefront.
heres a demo of the system from the game developers conference, i think.

seems kind of sluggish, but pretty cool, huh?

tremoctopus (cape octopus) defense mechanism

2007-03-12T16:40:00.000-07:00

this octopus, when threatened, lets out a long cape which trails behind it creating the most beautiful effect, but performs several functions- making it seem much larger, confusion, and as a sort of decoy. the cape tears away fairly easily and can wrap up around the face of the predator. pretty cool.

They plastered the area with Marxist/Lenninist posters and slogans, a feces spewing obsenity, and a photoshopped picture of John in blackface, all the while harrassing visitors with right-wing nonsense and obsenity-laden abuse of Democrats in general and John in particular."

in order to promote "shutdown day", where they ask everyone to go 24 hours without your computer this march 24th, just to see what will happen, these guys made a hilarious short of alternate uses for your laptop.

“Emails will go unanswered, and blogs will not be updated. During lunch breaks, people might talk to their co-workers and go for walks outside. One might even buy a newspaper to catch up on the latest.

At home, computer games will wonder what they’ve done to cause their players to ignore them so completely. The echoes of IM bleeps and pings will temporarily cease.”

reuters photo fraud

2007-02-23T17:41:00.000-08:00

reuters news service is accused of, with some pretty damning evidence, knowingly on many occasions having practiced deceit in the form of-

1. Digitally manipulating images after the photographs have been taken.

2. Photographing scenes staged by Hezbollah and presenting the images as if they were of authentic spontaneous news events.

3. Photographers themselves staging scenes or moving objects, and presenting photos of the set-ups as if they were naturally occurring.

4. Giving false or misleading captions to otherwise real photos that were taken at a different time or place.

for example, this photo, which appeared in u.s.news and world report, the cover even, was captioned as

"A Hezbollah gunman aims his AK 47 at a fire caused by an explosion in Kfarshima, near Beirut, Lebanon, Monday, July 17, 2006."

however, closer scrutiny reveals its actually a pile of tires burning, and therefore the gunman was a set up.

the Julie Amero case

2007-02-23T14:55:00.000-08:00

this is the teacher in conneticut that is being tried (for 40 years!) for allowing children to see pornography on one of the school computers. basically, she got slammed with a bunch of porn popups, and being fairly computer illiterate, she didnt know what to do to stop it, and no matter how fast she clicked away, the porn just kept coming. i dont know why this lady didnt have the wherewithal to just turn the monitor off, or cover it up, i imagine she was just panicking. anyway, the details of the case are pretty f'ed up, lots of bad politicking and bullshiting going on, like the school hadnt updated their virus software since 2004, she was told that if she unplugged the computer the whole network would go down, people accusing her of intentionally doing it to corrupt the kids, clueless computer "experts", etc. etc. the whole situation is a fiasco of blame game, and this poor substitute is caught up in the middle of it.
its definitely worth a look, and if you are so inclined, worth some time to send off a coule emails in her defense. here is the blog set up by her husband that has more info, and addresses to the various nitwits in charge of the whole deal.

tron guy recap/ for my brother

2007-02-20T21:49:00.000-08:00

somehow, my brother didnt know who "tron guy" was. this is tron guy-

nice package, tron guy!

tron guy, a.k.a. jay maynard was a mild mannered computer consultant(or something), from minnesota(or somewhere), who made a tron costume for "penguicon", a combination linux user/ scifi convention, and posted the whole costume making process, which you can find here- tron costume
this propelled him to minor intenet notoriety, which led to him appearing as a guest on the jimmy kimmel show, which subsequently led to him being a semi regular guest/victim of the show. first they tried him out as a man on the street interviewer, which is quite possibly some of the most painful footage ever produced. prime example right here.
whew. in the process of his fame, it is revealed that jay has never been married or had a girlfriend or had sex for that matter, so the jimmy kimmel show decides to find love for the tron guy, and set him up on a series of dates. two of which i highly recommend-
date #1, where he went rollerskating. an ode to intersexual akwardness.
date #2, where a party girl finally takes control of the situation and gets him hammered and rubs his face in her boobies.

and finally we come to "now" where the latest manifestation of the tron guy was in this mac ad parody,

bennet robot works

2007-02-20T15:51:00.000-08:00

"these robot sculptures by gordon bennet are made from a mixture of found objects. the parts are found in various places including garbage dumps, basements, construction sites, and garage sales."
well, i like the concept. im pretty wowed by the fact that homeboy is selling these for between 750 and 4000 dollars, and they are moving! he says they take about a month to build, which seems like b.s. to me, more like a few hours, but more power to him. and hes selling 50 dollar posters!

Brian: I thought it was Run Away From the Dots.

John: I don't see how this has anything remotely to do with football.

EGM: Which team are you playing?

Kirk: The red lines.

Tim: They could've just as easily called this game anything—Baseball, Bowling, Escape From the Monsters.

EGM: Did you score?

Kirk: I bumped into a dot.

no link between marijuana, lung cancer

2007-02-13T20:12:00.000-08:00

from the article- The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.

"The new findings "were against our expectations," said Dr. Donald Tashkin, a UCLA pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.
"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."
